Now that Game of Thrones has finished another season — with a whole slew of painful cliffhangers, no less — it's time to take stock. Naturally, we're looking forward, figuring out what's to come in the far-off seventh season, but we're taking time to reflect, too. With so many deaths in this past chapter — a few of which were very satisfying — we thought it would be nice to look back at all the totally warranted, totally deserved deaths we've seen to date. 14Viserys Targaryen
What a great way to start this list, right? It's safe to say we were
all tired of Daenerys's brother from the get-go, so this molten-gold
death is the jackpot we really needed.
After worrying about the infamous moon door for the better part of a
season, there was no one we'd rather see go through it. You might say we
were over the moon.
Listen, it's not that we particularly hated Tywin Lannister; he's
fine. But the way he constantly bullies and belittles Tyrion made this
murder extra sweet. He's on the toilet, for heaven's sake!
The only reason this one's not higher on the list is because we don't
actually see how everything goes down. Even so, after watching the waif
torture Arya for much of seasons five and six, it's fun to see their
literal face-off — as in Arya cuts that face off and puts it right in
the Hall of Faces.
As a follower of the Seven, Lancel has
been on our bad side for quite some time now. To make it worse, he's
generally just been kind of insufferable as a member of the Faith
Militant. He's fired.
It's not hard to get a bad taste in your mouth from this wildling. He
marries his daughters and incestuously fathers more daughters with
them. We'd be four, five seconds from wildin' too, if you catch our
drift.
Don't you EVER come for the Mother of Dragons!! I have never in my
life yelled at a Khal like this! Learn something from this! Just know
that when you try to come for Daenerys, it's going to be lit.
Before we were graciously gifted with the death of Ramsay Bolton, we
got to witness the murder of his sadistic lover, Myranda. Guess she
finally hits rock bottom.
This guy is one of the few characters Arya has managed to cross off her kill list
all by herself. Looks like she really takes that "eye for an eye" thing
to heart, you feel? (Because, like, she stabs his eyes a lot.)
Stannis was never a noble hero in our hearts, but the real turning
point is when he burns his daughter Shireen at the stake as a sacrifice
to the Lord of Light. One might say we'd been burnt one too many times
at that point.
This death has been years in the making, and it couldn't be more
beautifully orchestrated. When you consider how Walder Frey has killed
much of Arya's family, the fact that she feeds him the remains of his
sons is like literally giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Joffrey Baratheon is the quintessential trash monster on Game of Thrones. He's impossible to tolerate, he's whiny, he's mean, and he's so many other things. Now he's dead too, holler!
